b) In the power tools, use only the
batteries designed for the pur-
pose.
The use of other batteries may
result in injuries and risk of fi re.
c) Keep the unused battery away
from paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws and other small
metal objects, which could cause
bridging of the contacts.
A short
circuit between the battery contacts
may cause burns or fi re.
d) If used incorrectly, liquid may
leak from the battery. Avoid
contact with this. In the event of
accidental contact, rinse off with
water.
If the liquid gets into eyes, seek
medical assistance. Leaking battery fl uid
may cause skin irritations or burns.
e) Do not use damaged or altered
batteries.
Damaged or altered batter-
ies can be unpredictable and lead to
fi re, explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose batteries to fi re
or elevated temperatures.
Fire or
temperatures over 130 °C can cause
an explosion.
g) Follow all instructions for charg-
ing and never charge the bat-
tery or the battery-powered tool
outside the temperature range
stated in the operating instruc-
tions.
Incorrect charging or charging
outside the permitted temperature
range may destroy the battery and in-
crease the risk of fi re.

General safety instructions
for chainsaws

from the saw chain when the
chain saw is operating. Before

entanglement of your clothing or body
with the saw chain.
b)

c)
Hold the chainsaw only by the in-
sulated gripping surfaces, as the
saw chain may come into contact
with concealed power lines.
Con-

can also cause a charge in metal parts
of the device and result in an electric
shock.
d)
Wear eye protection. Further pro-
tective equipment for the ears,
head, hands, legs and feet is
recommended.
Contact between the
saw chain and a live cable may render
metallic components live and result in an
electric shock.
e)

from trees, ladders, a roof or
other unstable surfaces.
Operating
the device in such a way poses a serious
risk of injury.
